Pay heed to internal concerns

I echo Tom Giovanetti's sentiments. Our founding fathers were far more concerned about internal
oppression than external conflict. Today, the popular sentiment is reversed,
and for most, it's difficult to understand their concerns.

It may be of interest to read John Brunner's 1975 novel, "The
Shockwave Rider," for a view of what total information access might do to a
society. And in some respects, it provides a look at precisely the concerns
Giovanetti expresses. Let us hope the vision Brunner presented over a quarter
of a century ago is not our near future.
